ENGINE DETAIL

The Steyr WD 307.40 tractor features a 3-cylinder, 2.3 L diesel engine delivering 38 hp at 2400 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks where agility and moderate power output are key. Its torque peak of 109 lb-ft at 1400 RPM allows for effective low-end pull, beneficial for plowing and towing implements. However, operators should note its relatively modest power may limit performance under heavier loads, necessitating careful implement selection for optimal efficiency.

STEYR 40 ENGINE

The Steyr 40 tractor is powered by a robust 2.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient fuel consumption suitable for small to medium farming applications. With a 16.4-gallon (62.1 L) fuel tank, it provides extended operational time, minimizing downtime for refueling in the field. However, its relatively smaller engine size might limit power output for heavier tasks, making it ideal for lighter agricultural duties rather than demanding heavy-duty operations.

TRANSMISSION

The Steyr 40 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 6-speed reverse transmission, which provides flexibility for various field applications and terrain conditions. This extensive gear range enables optimal power management and efficiency during tasks such as tilling, plowing, or hauling. However, the complexity of the transmission may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed setups, potentially impacting ease of use in certain scenarios.

MECHANICAL

The Steyr 40 tractor offers a versatile 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain configuration, allowing for efficient operation in varied terrains, particularly advantageous for farmers needing adaptability in fields. The manual steering may pose challenges in precision steering, especially in tight spaces, compared to models with power steering. Its 8-speed transmission provides sufficient gearing options for different operational speeds, but may require more operator skill for optimal performance in diverse farming tasks.

STEYR 40 TIRES

The Steyr 40 tractor features Ag front tires sized 6.50-20 and Ag rear tires at 12.4-28, providing a balance of traction and stability for various agricultural applications. The smaller front tire size allows for improved maneuverability in tight spaces, while the larger rear tires enhance flotation and reduce soil compaction during field operations. However, the narrow front tires may limit stability on uneven terrain, posing a challenge in certain field environments.
